Sun: McCanns slam claims they are cashing in on anniversary of Maddie's disappearance

Why would Scotland Yard be organising their 'official' print and TV interview?

They obviously want to vet what is said but why?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]are considering two pooled interviews in Britain, one for print through the country’s national agency Press Association and one for broadcasters.
Both are being organised through Scotland Yard, Mitchell explained. He said: “There will be no fee.”

WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so ridiculous.

No it's beyond ridiculous.

It's even beyond outrageous.

What is going on here?

I know, the only reasons I can think of seem to point to a whitewash. S.Y. have told them what they can and can't say with regards to fitting the conclusions of Op. GRange ?

  unless they have given them a script and want to see how they react to it?

Wow!

The Sun are allowing comments.

99.9% are against.

Hardly anyone believes the McCanns.

Tracey’s doing alright though from her (weekly tea and cake?) meetings with CM. Plenty of column inches coming out and we're still more than two months away.
 
snips:

‘Mitchell said: “Kate and Gerry have not decided on any media interviews surrounding the anniversary yet but if any deal is done it will be extremely limited and no payment will be involved.
“Any suggestion they will be paid is completely inaccurate and utter rubbish!”

"But they have never accepted interview fees. They once accepted hospitality fees many years ago after travelling to America to appear on Oprah Winfrey, for flights and hotels.”
The only time Kate ever received any payment connected to Maddie’s disappearance in May 2007 - £1 million before tax – was from her own book simply entitled “Madeleine” and published in 2011.’
 
If this is indeed true that they have never accepted interview fees, one has to ask ‘why ever not?’
 
They were quite happy to accept cash from pensioners, schoolchildren etc etc, plus the damages awards, but master media-manipulator CM let the media get away with no fees for interviews, when they desperately needed cash to ‘search for MM’ and of course pay their investigators and also their legal fees.
 
Really?
 
I suppose this can easily be checked by looking in the ‘open and transparent’ fund accounts.
 
What, there’s no income or expenditure showing?
 
Silly me.

Not expecting to find Madeleine , then ? Bouyed and hopeful about potential earnings, no doubt .

Could this article from Clarence ranting about not making any money actually be an attempt to announce the 'Scotland Yard' sanctioned interview under the radar?

  People would hear about it and think it odd but in this article it is slipped in casually almost like a non event.

Payment = interviewer can ask what he/she wants to ask

No payment = "you ask what I tell you to ask".

SIMPLES  **sqeak**

He (CM) told The Sun Online: “They want to make it clear that they are not making any money out of Madeleine’s disappearance. Any claims are spurious nonsense but, fits in with the Portuguese agenda.”
----------------------------------------

"......but, fits in with the Portuguese agenda"

WHAT exactly is the Portuguese 'agenda', Pinky?

So much for the 'fabled' OG/PJ 'working hand in glove' with each other then, these past 6 years, eh?

I'd like to 'know' what the UK's, OG, 'agenda' is!

I find it a bit disturbing that Clarence Mitchell is awaiting for Scotland Yard to issue a statement with regard to the tenth anniversary of missing Madeleine McCann?
Especially when this Police Forces Organisation can lose 45,346 crates of files of evidence placed in their "Deep Rooted"secure file system with regard to undercover Police Officers infiltrating"Anti State"elements, where all sorts of dubious offences took place on"Innocent people"who were never charged with Criminal Offences and neither were the undercover Police Officers,but the Police have broken Laws in regard to their undercover Operations,aka Pitchford Inquiry,which Scotland Yard are obfuscating about after Three years of time given to them for an explanation of what they had undertaken?
Ah but don't worry Sir Bernard Hogan Howe is retiring in April 2017,just when a decision is to be made on Operation stGrange,remit-Abduction?

I 'think' HH will 'be gone' by end of this month, February 2017.

I am confused. Wasn't CM "sacked" a year or two ago, then out of the blue, last week, he "refused to comment" ?  What IS the position of this man in this never-ending saga?

I don't get why they are not using the 10th anniversary to talk to everyone they possibly can?

Everyone.

No stone unturned.

Why 2 controlled (by Scotland Yard?) interviews?

Stinks to high heaven.

Did he ever stop working for the government on this?

Scotland Yard's role in all this is doing my head in.

I still don't get why Summers and Swann were allowed access to the investigation.

Who the hell are Summers and Swann and why do they have more rights than any other citizen?

Clarence Mitchell is just like the proverbial"Puppet on a String" sung by Claudia Rodgers or Sandi Shaw from the 1960's?

High time Mrs May sorted this fiasco. There are people from all over the world looking on askance at this .

Kate McCann quote: " Gerry and I are finishers".

Too right, they are. They've finished off the reputation we had as a country for a free press and justice administered without fear or favour.

Geeez - you have a few hours kip and the whole world turns upside down

Maybe SY will do a 'Philpotts'' style 'broadcast' with the Mcs, 'front and centre', for all the world to see their 'ear tugging' 'ears turning 'red', 'scrunched up faces' (no 'tears') 'shoulder shrugging' etc,.....all in glorious 4K!

HOPE SO!

jta: Did anyone 'find out' WHAT the BBC's 'Panorama people' were 'doing', on the 'ground', in PDL, a couple of weeks ago?

Er...

We already had Crimewatch.

And that was a farce.

Scotland Yard are up to their necks in this.

Perhaps they were making a program of how they were duped,but you would find that hard to believe,especially after making Two Crime Watch programmes(Oct 2013 DCS Andy Redwood) and even more so when Clarence Mitchell is using the Scotland Yard to diffuse on statements on a tenth year anniversary?

slighty 'OT'

WHY will there even BE a tenth year 'anniversary', of a 'missing' child?

Does 'someone' KNOW, for definite, the 'missing' child will NOT, erm, 'be found' by the date of a 'tenth year anniversary'?

The 'world's best police force, SY' (ok, ok, 'self proclaimed') 'appear' to be 'buying into that' don't they, by 'organising', two pooled interviews in Britain, one for print through the country’s national agency Press Association and one for broadcasters, FUTURE 'press and broadcasting' releases for the ''ten year anniversary' of a 'missing' child, according to CM.

WHY would SY NOT 'think' the 'missing' child will be 'found', 'alive and unharmed', by 3rd May 2017?

It stinks worse than the boot of a Renault Scenic filled with old nappies and rotting sea bass.

'IT'S ALL NONSENSE'

Kate and Gerry McCann may sue over ‘lunatic conspiracy theory’ video blaming them for Maddie’s disappearance
A controversial TV documentary based on ex-cop Goncalo Amaral's shocking book 'The Truth of The Lie' emerged on YouTube

KATE and Gerry McCann may sue over a “lunatic conspiracy theory” video that blames them for Madeleine’s disappearance.
The heartbroken parents face fresh turmoil after a controversial TV documentary based on ex-cop Goncalo Amaral’s shocking book ‘The Truth of The Lie’ emerged on YouTube.

Madeleine’s parents – who are preparing themselves for the tenth anniversary of their daughter’s disappearance in May – are now considering legal action against the show.
A close pal of Maddie’s family branded the documentary, which was barred after the McCanns launched a successful lawsuit in Portugal, a “lunatic conspiracy theory”.
They told The Sun Online: “YouTube videos with lunatic conspiracy theories against the McCann’s have sadly been available on the website for years. It’s not just Amaral but all the anti’s spouting their nonsense.

“Kate and Gerry can’t silence them all but their lawyers will be looking at any they feel are potentially libellous and damaging.”
Goncalo Amaral, who headed the initial investigation into Maddie’s disappearance, wrote The Truth Of The Lie in 2008.
It accused Kate and Gerry McCann of faking Maddie’s abduction – prompting the couple to launch a successful libel claim against the former detective.But the couple have previously been left reeling after having their £395,000 libel victory revoked by Lisbon appeal judges who overturned a ban on his book in April.

To add insult to injury, Amaral is now planning to sue the couple for compensation after winning his appeal.
The couple have on board the country’s top libel lawyers, London-based Carter Ruck.
Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns' spokesman, said today: “Any potentially defamatory material found online will be reviewed and assessed by Kate and Gerry’s lawyers. They will decide if it is appropriate to take any legal action.”

The Sun Online today revealed the McCanns slammed Portuguese media claims they are plotting to reap in hundreds of thousands of pounds from 10th anniversary interviews.
Mitchell branded the claims "spurious nonsense", adding: "They want to make it clear that they are not making any money out of Madeleine’s disappearance."
Madeleine vanished from a holiday rental apartment in Praia da Luz, Algarve, in May 2007.
Her disappearance made headlines across the world and the search for Maddie is thought to have cost £10m so far.
----------------------------------------------------------

I never thought the day would come that I couldn't 'keep up' with Trace!

The woman puts a whole new meaning to the words 'speed writer'!

"Kate and Gerry McCann may sue over ‘lunatic conspiracy theory’"
--------------------------

Didn't the Mcs have a 'lunatic theory/thesis' of their own at one time?

Oh yeah....'Madeleine WAS abducted, what OTHER explanation CAN there be, as to how she's not here?'

And Mrs Mc 'knows' because 'she was there and knows more than 'you' do'!

Think about this realistically. If there is any chance of finding poor Madeleine alive which this vile couple keep alluding to , then what is a 10 year anniversary all about? Would anybody as a parent continue to advertise their child neglect for a decade? Would anybody as a parent put their other children through this ordeal and publicity? How long is this mysterious "pact of silence" with this vile group going to last for? Please post this to the "Sun".

Don't you just 'lurvee' the way these 'hacks' are telling EVERYONE 'where to view' GA's 'film', on Youtube?

Maybe I'm just being naive but the tone of the press is changing (off the record briefings perhaps). I'm wondering if  'organized through Scotland Yard' is legal shorthand for 'My clients might be indisposed by then and unavailable for comment - any interviews will therefore be organized through Scotland Yard.'
